Fiber optic sensing helps Sulzer improve pump development
By using SKF’s fiber optic sensing system to verify new pump designs, Sulzer says it can verify product performance using actual measurement data previously unavailable.Gothenburg, Sweden 1 February 2021: Sulzer has used a fiber optic sensing system from SKF to verify the design of a new centrifugal process pump. The sensing system measures loads directly in the bearing, which gives a deeper insight into a pump’s actual operating conditions. Sulzer says that applying the system to future pump designs will help it to further strengthen its leadership as a technology supplier in this area.
